Zebra ID - Hairy lady or What???

We all know how difficult it is to identify the sex of these fish, so please post a picture in here and we'll try to help you (or at least give an educated guess!).

I would be inclined to say yes... and from the body shape get her back in the water and get the barry white playing :)

I'm in the same dilema with one of ours - Have a look if you would ;)

I think it is a male, but I can be wrong. It is fat, but my males look guite similar, when they have been fed well. Please let us know if it turns to be a female.
